Well yeah.. they do still work on the OEM springs, it isn't really damaging anything.. but the ride quality is a bit worse.

Thanks for the help!
Thanks for all the help. First time I've replaced Struts with aftermarket. Learning there's a difference between what will works and what the ideal set up is.
|
Bleh, I can't find any MSP struts sets for what I want to pay. After paying for shipping, it's actually cheaper to buy Tokico HP struts and springs packaged together, than just MSP struts.
So, anyone want to buy a set of perfect MSP springs? :) |
On another note, it seems like Onlinemazdaparts is selling endlinks for like $23 a peice. I think they are just standard protege sedan ones, but I can't tell.
Are these fine, or should I get different ones for the MSP sway bars? Also, does anyone know where to get an actual MSP/MP3/P5 strut tower brace? I can only find aftermarkets or cheap looking junk. I like the OEM one best, and it fits my red car quite nicely. |

but mine? wait then I'd need one. I had an aftermarket one, they're all junk because they're hinged on both sides. It allows the chassis to flex as a parallelogram still.

So, in a battle to the death, what would win KYB GR-2 struts, or Tokico HPs?
I can get both for a very similar price. |
HP smokes a cigarette; lifeless GR-2 a bloody mess.

OK, so after checking about a dozen websites, seem no one has the info.
Does anyone know what the spring stats (stiffness, progressive/linear) are of the springs that ship with Tokico's HP kit. The kit seems to be sold everywhere, but beside the drop amount, I can't find any info on them. Since they come with the Tokico HPs, I'm assuming they are Tokico springs, but that's all I know about them. Thanks guys, for any info. |
